Movie Talk - Annabelle Comes Home

Tweet

Hi guys. Have you all set aside your time to watch the latest in The Conjuring series, Annabelle Comes Home? The premise is mostly happening at Ed and Lorraine Warren's home, but you won't see them much because there is a new hero in the storyline who will save the day. OK, I won't reveal too much lest you guys think of me as a movie spoiler reviewer. The ghosts or spirits conjured by Annabelle this time round look more varied. They are quite scattered; meaning you get some scares and suspense along the way and this is what happens when the evil is not contained. I don't know why they have to preserve that doll and why not just burn it already. But then, you won't then get to see a story on how Annabelle wants a Soul so bad. Yes, that's not what I said, but someone in the movie did. So, go watch it already. It's certainly not the Mission Impossible action pack type of movie or like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and IT kind of thriller/horror kind, but you get your fine share of demonic sightings; courtesy of Annabelle the freaking doll. What can the movie improve on? Not much, but maybe a little elaboration on Annabelle backstory again for those who are new to the franchise, or how some of those entities become how they are in a flashback scene or something. Retelling through sketches and old clips seem a bit lazy and too easy to decipher. But that's the only setback I feel. And oh yeah, maybe it can wrap up nicely with Lorraine saving the day and fighting the demon. But that's just me. Verdict - I shall give close to full marks. Don't eat your popcorn too loud. You can feel the tension as the storyline expands and the only sound you'll hear is your chewing.
